CINCINNATI, May 17.-At four O'Clock
this morning a wild.eyed man, about
fifty years OF age, with his long beard
torn and his face showing traces OF blood,
entered the Central Police Station and
@aid to the officer in charge: 81 am j. V.
Goodspeed. have assaulted my wife. II
do not krow whether she is dead or not
You had bttte lock me up until you ind
out. Send 10 the Bodley homestead on
Price Hill."
The man was locked up and an officer
sent at once to the place, which is in the
extreme western portion OF the city. AT
the house the officer found Mrs. Good
speed in bed with her face and throat
bearing marks of violence. She was al
first averse to talking, but when told ina
her husband had surrendered himself,
she went on 10 say that they had played
croquet on the lawn until nine last night,
when she retired, Mr.. Goodspeed saying
he YVES not ready yet.
After eleven O'Clock she heard him In
the room, but fell asleep, At midnight
she was awakened to find him standing
over her " ith glsrirg eyes and an awful
expression on his face, trying to twist
some dark cloth down her throat A ter.
rible struggle ensued, in the course OF
which she begged him to desist, offering
him the title to all her property, but ht
was memorable, and beat her with some
thing he held in his hand.
Finally she caught his long beard, ane
with all her force wrenched portion OF l
from bis face. This caused him fuch pair
that he relinQuished his hold, and ser
want entering at that point he left tn
room. Major Goodspeed married Mrs
Bodley, wealthy widow, year or tive
ago, after an acquaintance formed
Athens, Ohio where he was an esteemed
citizen, having for long time served a.
principal of the public schools.
Mrs. Goodspeed is OF the opinion tina

view is taken by all who know him
He was therefore taken this forenoon t
the Sanitarium at College hill, where hi
mental condition will be ascertained. ii
has hitherto borne 81 otless reputation
and has been held in high esteem b
all his acquaintances. Mrs. Goodspte
will be confined to her room for som

PORTER on COAST DEFRN-
sKs.

A special from Washington to the
Appeal says; Admiral Porter has
written to Congressman Lswler on
the Importance of protecting the APP
proaches to Boston, New York and
other cities with heavily armored
monitors carrying the heaviest guns.
He says that torpedoes cannot be re-
lied upon; that during the Russo
Turkish war, which is the only one
excep. our civil war we know Of
where torpedoes have been exten-
sively used, with the hundreds of
Whitehead torpedocs employer by
the Russians against the Turkish ma
Wy only one Turkish ship of inferior
quality was destroyed. During our
OWL war, when the Corfederates had
their rivers, harbors, bays, etc, OBJ
structed by torpedocs the United
States lost but twenty-five vessels
in spite of the great energy and in
trepidity Of the Coniederates, and
the Admiral says: ! am quite salts
fed that they were as well prepared
in those days for the defense of their
channels as we are to-day, and much
better provided with torpedo boats
Further on Admiral says" l dc
not think it any violation of conf
dence in me to say that the German
Government in particular has at :his
moment complete plans of all ou'
ports and every particular in re.a-
tion to the principal ha'bors OF the
United States"
The Admiral further says: 81
don't suppose it ever struck Anybody
that it would ever be necessary to To-
este the heaviest guns on Coney Is
land to prevent feet from anchorina
at that point and firing into the city OF
New York. There is another imple.
mcnt Of war which is now being ex
perimcnted with, which may prove
more destructive than even the heav.
i $. rifled guns--tha is the rifiled
IN rt.r. Imagine twenty or Thirty
mortar boats lying under Coney
island and devastating city nnd
country for miles around. You
see, after all, the main defense of oui
coasts and harbors is in the heavy
ironclad monitor, with the most pow
crful guns, that can move from point
to point ant, like the turtle, carry its
defenses on its back"
Boston, the Admiral considers, Is
ten times worse eff than New York
He does not suppose there is Bos'
tonian ut this moment who realize,
that single ironclad could lay be
fore the city at distance OF five
miles and knock the Statchouse about
the ears Of the inhabitants. The on
ly remedy for all this is a feet of
ironclads.
